Duh, I did it again, didn't I? I'm constantly mixing up my personal de domain with cygwin.com.

However, see the important parts of my reply you snipped away: Cygcheck is a native Windows executable and thus does not use Cygwin's ^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ path handling (in contrast to md5sum, for instance). Rather it uses a ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^ home grown version and this in turn has a bug when checking the cygdrive ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ prefix against the incoming path. Everything goes, just not '/' alone. So the patch I applied affected cygcheck, not the Cygwin DLL.
